When you are in a life boat you don't want to have anything to eat for the first week. Food consumes the little water you have left in your body, making you more prone to drying out.
Charms and chewing gum mixed with salt water sucks. Therefor you will be very pleased with a twine to close the package. Don't uses your shoe laces because you need them for fishing. A hook can be made of a paperclip, or coat hanger. (Who hasn't a coat hanger with him when he goes flying?)

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of Trojan and Sultan brand condoms. I don't care what anyone says. Theres no way somebody can get any amount of water in one, without a pressurized water source. :?
After the Chicken and the Egg, came the "Omelet"!

Now I know. Thanks for the link George. Since all the ones I have in stock, have the grease and ball-burner chemicals, I'll have to visit the nearest Wally tomarrow. So thats how the Indians filled the buffalo, etc. bladders with water! I always wondered how "Stands with Fist" was filling those bladders. :P :wink:

Make sure that you let them know that you need the biggest ones that they have. Not only will they hold more water, but it would enhance your image!
